Thankfully for Antetokounmpo and the Bucks, Saturday may be the last time that he has to go at it alone in this series. Lillard is nearing a return from his injury and has been upgraded to questionable for Game 2 on Tuesday night, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes.

With the Bucks already trailing after a convincing Game 1 victory for the Indiana Pacers, Damian Lillard is set to return for Milwaukee at the perfect time. Dame was a huge get for the Bucks after bringing him in from the Portland Trail Blazers in 2023, and prior to being sidelined this season he was averaging nearly 25 points per game.

Milwaukee desperately needs Lillard's scoring and playmaking. Superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo was the only Bucks player who scored at least 20 points in Game 1. The two-time MVP and one-time Finals MVP had 36 points in 38 minutes.
